CROCKETT'S HONEYMOON. AKA - "George Ainley's Tune." AKA and see "Honeymoon Reel (1)," "Maid Who Left the Mountains (The)." Old-Time, Breakdown. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Songer): AA'BB' (Phillips). The name "Crockett's Honeymoon" (or, sometimes, "Crockett's Wedding") appears to have originated in the 1970's, attached (perhaps by George Ainley) to an untitled tune contained in a medley on a 1920's recording by Crockett's Kentucky Mountaineers. The alternate title "George Ainley's Tune" comes from the recording by the Fat Meat Boys. A similar American tune is "Maid Who Left the Mountains (The)," which may be the original ancestor to these variants. It has a similar to the Irish reel called "Maid Who Left the County (1) (The)," which itself has a cognate tune entitled "Honeymoon Reel (2) (The)". "Honeymoon Reel (1)", a close variant of the Irish "Honeymoon Reel (2) (The)" was printed as long ago as 1883 in the Boston, Massachusetts, publication Ryan's Mammoth Collection.
